As an Evangelist I get an opportunity to do a variety of sessions for the India sub and I am sure I would have met quite a few of you who read my post via the events channel. As much as I try to keep the sessions content loaded, I would like to take this opportunity to also solicit your views on what will be your top 5 session requests. In otherwords, what would be the sessions that will help YOU in your day-today activities(SQL2005) and help YOU prep-up on future products(SQL2008).

Now you can see I have tons of ideas and variety of sessions that I want to take on various tracks. But if YOU had to priortize and suggest which would be those 5 topics on SQL 2005 and Top 5 on SQL 2008 – Which ones would they be?

You can drop a comment on this post or you can drop me a line on ITPro[at]ExtremeExperts.com and I will consolidate it as part of this post.

Lastly, you have my commitment and I will surely *try* to address them during the course of this year.
